I always wondered about Ports O'Call, the port of Long Beach (LA), there had to be mob presence down there. It's probably one of the busiest ports in the U.S.


Years ago a guy from Jersey who transferred out here with my Pops, a wheeler and dealer type fella, had so many Mercedes and Porsches coming in from Germany to that port. One time I was over his house and there was this couple from Beverly Hills looking at one of his gold metallic brand new Mercedes fresh off the boat. It was around 1982, this car he was selling was $80g's cash. This couple ended up buying it I heard.

That guy is dead now.

This is just one guy selling cars so you can imagine how much merchandise was going in and out of that port back then. $$$$$$$$$$$
